Voor veel Belgen, blijft de auto een constante voor daguitstappen, weekends en vakanties. De hoge kostprijs van autorijden zorgt er echter voor dat automobilisten bewuster kiezen, plannen en rijden. Dat blijkt uit een nieuwe studie in opdracht van Auto5 bij 809 Belgische automobilisten.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bijna de helft zegt kostenbewuster te zijn: ze denken tegenwoordig meer na over de totale kosten van een reis of vakantie met de auto dan vroeger. Vooral brandstof, oplaadkosten, tol en parkeren spelen een rol bij de keuze van bestemming en afstand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Veranderend vrijetijdsgedrag<\/h4>\n

De impact van dure benzine en diesel is vooral merkbaar in vrijetijdsgedrag. Vier op de tien blijven vaker dichter bij huis om de afstand en de kosten onder controle te houden. Toch blijft de auto voor veel gezinnen aantrekkelijker dan de trein of het vliegtuig. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBelgische bestuurders laten hun auto niet zomaar staan, maar wegen de kosten bewuster af dan vroeger\u201d, legt Olivier Renard, woordvoerder van Auto5, uit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Energiezuinig rijden<\/h4>\n

Uit de cijfers blijkt dat automobilisten hun auto anders gebruiken. Meer dan de helft (54,3%) zegt meer op de snelheid te letten om het verbruik te beperken. Bijna evenveel automobilisten (56,9%) plannen hun routes bewuster om files, omwegen en onnodige kilometers te vermijden. <\/span><\/p>\n

E\u00e9n op drie (31,4%) zet minder vaak de airconditioning aan om energie te besparen. Meer dan een derde (37,1%) van de respondenten vermijdt onnodige bagage, extra gewicht, het gebruik van een dakkoffer of een fietsendrager om het verbruik te beperken.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Toch vergeten automobilisten nog vaak hoe belangrijk het is dat hun auto in goede staat is om energiezuinig te rijden. Minder dan de helft (44,4%) controleert bijvoorbeeld de bandenspanning voor langere reizen. En minder dan de helft (41%) overweegt een snelle controle van de auto om het verbruik te optimaliseren.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bredere gegevens versterken de relevantie van de enqu\u00eate. Belgische en Europese mobiliteitscijfers tonen aan dat de auto structureel dominant blijft voor verplaatsingen. Andere onderzoeken, zoals de vakantiebarometer van Touring en de Europese studies over het reissentiment, tonen ook aan dat de inflatie en de hoge prijzen reizigers ertoe aanzetten om beter op hun budget te letten.<\/p>\n

Europees patroon<\/h4>\n

Het hele verhaal past in een breder Europees patroon. Europese brandstofverkoopgegevens laten zien dat kostendruk duidelijk zichtbaar is in het gedrag in de praktijk.<\/p>\n

In april 2026 registreerde Eurostat een duidelijke daling van de detailhandelsvolumes voor motorbrandstoffen: de brandstofverkoop daalde met 2,7% op maandbasis in de eurozone en met 2,4% in de EU. Vergeleken met april 2025 daalde de verkoop met 3,5% in de eurozone en 2,0% in de EU.<\/p>\n

Dit gebeurde terwijl de brandstofprijzen sterk stegen: In april 2026 lagen de dieselprijzen in de EU 33,7% hoger op jaarbasis en de benzineprijzen 13,6% hoger.<\/p>\n

Een lagere brandstofverkoop bewijst niet direct dat mensen minder vakanties of daguitstapjes met de auto maken. Ze kunnen ook het gevolg zijn van minder woon-werkverkeer, effici\u00ebnter rijden, uitgesteld tanken, voorraden aanleggen in de voorgaande maand, meer elektrische voertuigen, elektrificatie van bedrijfswagenparken of algemene economische voorzichtigheid.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
